of the Day. Thank you Loria. There he is. NFL

Chiefs Chargers, and then Sunday Week one continues in the NFL.
There's a little bit of a bite in the air.
We got footall, we got, we got Hoodie Weather. We
got sweatshirts, we got we got bite in the air.

(01:05):
Yes we do. We're ready to go do it. You know,
there's a lot of skitch it lies lately on this
A lot of skitch it lies in our lives people
just around us. You've been listening the last couple of weeks,
I just feel like the suits and it's really been more.
It's been for months and months and months really years,
just skitch it lies all around us. Wow, just like

(01:25):
it's like this, Like I've been telling you, I think
we live in a simulation around here because people act
like look over here, look over here, you know, nothing's happening.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
The truth, Like I can handle the truth no matter
what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
But like as an adult, I've learned that you can
just say whatever you want with no factual basis or
truth to it and just go about your life. Or
like I like, I'm gonna start doing that exactly take
it like real professional stuff, like hey, can we do
this handy? This will ignore that.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
But but but hey, there's there's pre breakfast out in
the bakfast burritos out in the hallway, which I mean,
have breakfast. Actually, I've never we've never read breakfast burritos.
That would that would change. We could we could forgive
some skitch of lize if there were some good breakfast britos.
We actually eat a breakfast We're probably not, but I
might take it home and eat it in private. It's
a private eating a breakfast burritos a private experience for me.

(02:17):
It's it's it's sexual, it's it's intimate, it's it's private.
I need. I need to be alone and really savor it.
Because if I'm gonna need four thousand calories rolled up
in one tortilla like I need, I really need to
get the most out of it. But so I I
I've fallen for the skitch. I am part of the
problem because I've been doing skitchullized myself, telling you each
week that this was the week I was going to

(02:37):
win the power Ball, this was the time. But it's
all just it's all just been a big ruise. I
need money to get back from space, guys. I'm in
space right now and I need money to get back,
and frankly, now is the time. Okay, So you guys
have just been feeding my retirement. Thank you to those
of you across the land who have been buying power
ball tickets to feed my retirement. But now now is

(02:58):
the time. There was no winner last night in the
power ball drawing one point seven billion dollars is the drawing?
Now is the time? Now is the who needs a
new contract? I just win that m Bye bye yep,
bye bye bye bye. That's no. I would let me
tell you, I would have the I would have an

(03:19):
absolute uh just just absolute uh festival of a departure.
I would have lollapalooza form from my retirement. It would
be incredible. Forget about Grant Park. I mean we'd have
to have multiple venues for all the artists that I
would have. I mean we would just pick it, but
we would have to have like regions. It would be incredible.

(03:39):
We'd have like a lineup a tour. Who if I
won one point seven billion dollars? Who isn't the lineup?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Right? Who's the headliner?

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Who isn't? Who? Do you want? They come? They can
complay your they come play a thing. I mean, I
would have to have a very large extravagancest. Sayonara if
I if the reason I was leaving was one point
seven billion dollars, which I guess to take home, would
be somewhere around four fifty five hundred million now that
I can work with. That I can work with, Come

(04:10):
tout it, Let me have a drink. I'm gonna choked up.
I mean, this is really I'm visualizing it. I'm manifesting it.
And a lot of things in my life I've manifested
successfully a lot of things you have. I believe in.
I believe in manifest I do manifesting king over here,
like like my career, somehow that worked out the way
I wanted to. Like, I've manifested items that I wanted

(04:32):
and then they come to fruition. So I'm manifesting this.
Someone get me a posted note. I'm ryan putting what
was going on my mirror. I believe the drawing is tomorrow,
seven hundred and seventy million dollars will be the one
lump payment, which is what you have to do. This
twenty nine annual premium thing is just not sam No,
that's just getting live. Yeah, that's the guy in space

(04:53):
trying to get home with the oxygen. You know he
needs him. But yeah, so I think I think tomorrow's
the day. I believe it's tomorrow, and it's good because
on a Friday. So it's a nice way to just
sort of finish, you know, succinctly. Just it's always nice
to quit on a Friday, you know what I mean,
just a nice day, you know, because you know what
I mean, Like it's the Wednesday. Quitting is weird because
then there's two more days to cover, but like not

(05:14):
to you know tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Does anybody have cash?

Speaker 1 (05:17):
We should go down, like we should get tickets. We
should well, and we know who the only person who
could properly buy them would be you, because we know
how good you are.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
I almost called the other day.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I changed my mom.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
I was like, I don't know how to order this.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, you're so seamless with ordering the Powerball tickets ordering them, Like, yeah,
I know it really stresses you out.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
It does.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
I would send someone else down if we got to
send in Bellow down.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
I can't imagine sending her to do anything.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Jason Ramon.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
She would just yell at me and asked me a
million questions. Right, I almost spitt I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I've been trying bringing his coffee to try and get
like whatever is in my throat, and I almost spit
it all over this thing and I would have needed
one point seven billion dollars to fix the damage that
I had just own. That board is not one point
nowhere near one point. That is the team mover team
controls over here. Remember that day, and that day was
about two weeks ago when we were under there, You
and I were under the conference ID from two thousand
and nine and we were unplugging things and plugging the

(06:15):
BAC him. So anyway, one point seven billion dollars is
the Powerball drawing. Speaking of money, again, you don't have
to be like super into sports to just sort of
sit back and go, how on Earth? But so you know,
Jason as our VP of sports reporting, and we'll need
some picks tomorrow because it's week one. Yes, in the NFL,
But so you know that there's a salary cap in

(06:39):
in pro sports, like in the NBA. A team can
only spend so much money total on their team, right, Like,
so you can't, you know, if you spend seventy million
dollars on a max contract for Lebron or something. I'm
making these numbers up. Don't don't text me because it's Saturday,
the Powerball drawing Saturday. Well, that's fine, it's still clean.
Tomorrow is the last Dame. Yeah from But because I'm

(07:01):
gonna win on Saturday, I'm to come back. So I'll
just bring my things with me. I don't have him
any things here. I just got this, you know, says
Dick Cheese, cressing out one of those little desk signs.
I'll take that with But you can only spend so
much money. So like, if you've got now baseball, you
don't have to do this. But in basketball, so if
I spend seventy million dollars on Lebron, I can't go
spend seventy gazillion dollars on somebody else. You can't just
buy everybody. There's a salary cap, total amount of money

(07:23):
that can be spent. All right, Well, there's one NBA
All Star who plays for the Los Angeles Clippers, and
he apparent wh WHI entered is his name, and he
signed a twenty eight million dollar deal to play. Well,
I guess what is his what do he actually signed
for thirty million? He signed with the team for less
than he is worth. And people were like, how why

(07:45):
did he He could have gotten so much more money,
why did he do that? Well, the team didn't have
the space and the salary cap, so he signed for
less money and I think that's crazy. Well, then it
turns out this was uncovered yesterday that the owner of
the team, who is a Microsoft gazillionaire. Gazillionaire, he and
Steve Jobs, I guess, founded Microsoft together. He was like

(08:05):
one or two in the company. So he's worth Bill
Gates or would I say Steve Jobs? Yeah, Bill Gates
and this guy, Steve Ballmer is his name. He started
a company okay, it plants trees. Oh he and he
gave Kawhi Leonard allegedly an endorsement deal for twenty eight
million dollars and in the contract it says that he
doesn't have to do anything. Think about what he did.

(08:29):
So he didn't have enough money to pay for the guy,
so he paid him what he could and then he
went and started a fake company and made this guy
an influencer for the fake company for the rest of
the money. You can't do that.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Oh wait, you can't do that. No, that's a skin
in line that I would staying behind. Yes, man, no,
because if you could do that, then all these guys
would do that. It would be like, oh, I can't
afford him. Okay, Well, I'm gonna go start a company
where we just dig ditches, except you don't have to
and just pay you to do it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
According to Pablo Tauris, who's the sports reporter, this guy
was paid via this company, and he had a company,
which way to be crafty with the name of your
shell company where you collected this money KL two Kawhi
Leonard and his number. Yeah, I mean, let's be clever
about it, you know what I mean. Really, under a contract,
it allowed him to decline any action. He didn't have
to do anything. The contract also stipulated that if he

(09:19):
left the Clippers, then he wouldn't get the money anymore.
That's another thing. And so this company filed bankruptcy, I guess.
And when you do that, you have to state who
you owe money to, and he was one of the people.
So the Clippers is saying we didn't do anything wrong.
This is all okay, but that's pretty clever. If you
think about it. A tree planting company and you don't

(09:40):
even have to plant a tree. You could just have
thirty million dollars to do nothing like this. We need
endorsement deals like that. Yes. A Minnesota woman her birthday
trip to the Las Vegas Sphere took a scary turn
when her husband, who's fifty four years old, collapsed during
a Kenny Chesney concert. I feel the same way when
I go to a Kenny Chesney concert. It has nothing
to do with the the pyro, or the or the

(10:02):
effect of the visuals. I'm just that's Kenny Chesney right
there on the stage. This guy had no prior medical
issues experienced a seizure triggered by the venue's intense lights
and visuals. He was unconscious for several minutes before being
rushed to the hospital. Follow up show no recurring seizures.
Experts warned that immersive shows rather with flashing lights, booming sound,
and rapid visual changes, can trigger seizures in rare cases,

(10:24):
especially when combined with fatigued dehydration or alcohol. The Sphere
is now advising guests to consult the doctor if you
have any concern about going to see a show at
the Sphere. These Super Bowl ads have sold out thirty seconds,
eight million dollars Wow, eight million bucks. Smartphone use on
the toilet is linked to a forty six percent higher

(10:45):
hemorrhoid risk. Now this is a health news. I got
health news for you guys today. That's for YouTube.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
YouTube.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
I stopped because I got scared, because I don't want
I don't want no roids, so I stopped.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
If your legs calls asleep, if you're on the toilet
and you're and you're doing whatever you're doing, you're on
your phone, or for any circumstance your leg falls asleep,
you've been on there for too long. Yeah, I don't
know this because it's happened, and I find myself like,
what am I still doing here? You know, my business
has been done for some time. But I'm scrolling. I mean,
I mean, I mean, I'm immersed, just like I would
be watching Kenny Chesney at this year. The research finds

(11:19):
a prolonged sitting, often due to smartphone use, raises pressure
in that area, potentially leading to hemorrhoids. Experts recommend limiting
the time there to five to ten minutes and avoiding
smartphone use during this period to reduce the risk. Maintaining
a fiber rich diet and staying hydrated are also advised
for overall digestive.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Health and your business.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Hey watch wat, You're gonna end up with some hamen.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
You know, Hey, it's fine, like you let me have
more peace.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Is there any other place in the house to watch TikTok?
Any other place?

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (11:50):
In yeah, right, but hopefully for most events. Yeah, it's
just prime it's prime time.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Man hemorrhoids and electric uture. It's no big deal. And
in other health news this morning, pickleball is well. Pickleball
is addicting. Uh huh, it's a real story. It's booming,
with nearly twenty million players in twenty twenty four, eight
three hundred and eleven percent increase since twenty twenty one,
but injuries are on the rise. Doctors report more Achilles injuries,
torn menisci and wrist fractures, often from skipping warm ups

(12:21):
or over use. Caitlin, we got to warm up before
we hit the kitchen.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah. Yeah, Well you know you got to say out
of the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Oh, you're not supposed to be in a kitchen. Well
that's part of my problem, I guess. Well, yeah, with
this game. But players can't get enough. One doctor is
describing this sport as like a drug. They just can't quit.
Experts recommend proper warm ups, court shoes, and safe movement
to avoid injuries. Pickleball is like a drug, not something

pressure like do this, and I'm like, okay, So I

you to win the lottery more than I need you
to win it.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
I really feel like this is the time. And I've
been saying that for a couple of weeks, but it's skitch.
It lies. I've been lying to you. I didn't think
it was the time. I just wanted people to buy
tickets so I could have more because I'm greedy. So yeah,
no Saturday, don't worry. We're gonna have about seven hundred million.
Pay some tax on that. I'll give you a generous budget, please,
tens of thousands of dollars you can spend on your
wedding free.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
Walking into the door at the reception places at the
banqueod halls.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
You need to have thirty thousand dollars to even talk
to them. Okay, so I haven't done any talking.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah, so I turned around.

Speaker 2 (16:29):

the bride to do it.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
If you if you are in the middle of this mess,
please help me, because I don't know what else.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
You know what you're this is what you should do.

our sponsors to so we can have like Amy Witherwright
patch on their wind, Trust patch on their carter, heating
and air. I'll keep going like we just keep going.
Everybody buys a little spot on the dress and then

(17:38):

jewelers get that right on that man we'll keep going, Pa.
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
You can use my backyard. Come I told you yesterday
I got the party RAJ thing in my yard. Whatever
you need a hobby congress.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
There's a little water table out there, so there'll be entertainment. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
No, Kiki, will it be a big wedding?

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Do you think? You know?

Speaker 2 (18:00):
I want all the things? One I can't. I never
thought this was really going to happen, So now that
it is, I want everything.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
You know, guess wise. Guess wise is, Yeah, it's going
to be up there. I talked to a lady yesterday
at thetorney station. I said, you know what, girl, I
got a win coming in. Come on there, Yeah, invited.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
We're trying to control costs. And that's that's a big one. Mike.
Want to sort of not do bad.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
It's crazy out here, man. Just send all thoughts and
prayers for brides, because I don't know.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
How you do yeah, because you want to be like
a happy, fun like process. And it's not at the
beginning when you get engaged with them, when you get
in the nitty griddy of it.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's like more anxiety.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
It sounds like yeah, and it's not like a student
loan where I can finis.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Right. They want their money, they wanted now. Someone texted
this and I won't even bother because it didn't go
over with my sister, and it's not going to go
over with you. If someone Texas City Hall and a
big party after, you know when it's different. My parents
gave my sister a budget, right, so they wrote her
a check and it was, hey, you can spend all
this or you can keep it and spend five dollars.
It's totally up to you. And I just kept pushing

(19:09):
and it wasn't my day, but I'm like, you should
have whatever day you want, Amanda. But you do realize
that no one's going to remember what they ate. I've
already gone on this ram before no one. It was
a beautiful day and she did a great job. She
and my mom did a great job. It was beautiful
right before COVID. Thank god it happened. Everything was perfect
for them, I think, But like she could have been.

(19:30):
She could have won the power Ball herself if she'd
had a food truck and a band, and she would
have had a bunch of money in the bank. That's
the move. And I honestly think if I look at
it differently, right, because I'm older and I don't you know,
so if I ever got married, I feel like if
I married someone my age probably already been married before
at this point, like did all that, I would do that,
I would say, but I have to pay for it now.

(19:51):
No one's writing me a check, right, But if I
were young, I really feel like I would and someone
were saying, here's your budget, I would strongly consider a
really really fun night with tons of booze and great
food and great music, and it doesn't have to cost
a whole lot. And then I take the rest of
the money and I buy a house or pay off
debt or do something, you know what I mean, Like

(20:11):
something that twenty years from now you're gonna be glad
that and and maybe you'll be glad you did that
twenty But that's not you. I know, that's not you.
You know me.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
I mean the chair covers, the bowls, the sparkles, the
buy you cover.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yes,
